I am going to back up a little and show some photos, if the story is true of the origin of the Rajo overhead. Evidently this, the first model, the 35 was developed to give the TT truck more power. They were quite slow and you did not need a speedo as a calendar works just fine at 22 MPH.

This TT panel truck reputedly received the first Rajo as a means of trying to get more speed out of them for quicker deliveries.

The last two photos show a model 35 Rajo.
